At Brilliant Read Media, it is our constant endeavour to identify and share some of the unique and compelling stories from the startup ecosystem. As part of this, we invited Tanuja Singh for an interview with Brilliant Read Media. To say further, Tanuja is an Entrepreneur and Founder of SEHHAA. Let’s learn more about her background, inspiring journey so far and her advice for our growing community!
Excerpts from our exclusive interview with Tanuja:
Could you please talk us through your background and your journey?
I have been through a fantastic journey of life, from being a full-time housewife to becoming a professor to now being an Entrepreneur. I am a Bio-Energetic expert and a certified Body Energy Healer by profession. A decade back, I was in Higher Education. I also hold a title of Doctorate in Political Science.
At present, though, I am completely dedicated to Energy Healing. I am also the founder of a Wellness Phenomenon named SEHHAA.
‘SEHHAA’ is such a unique name; talk us through more about it, please. Our audience would also love to know what kind of problem you are solving?
We know the world through our own experiences. Learnings, awakenings, and realizations of my own life were shaping SEHHAA.
I saw the people around me struggling and forced to live chaotic lives as if there was no way out. One thing that made me stand apart from the crowd was my Realism and unwavering Optimism.
I couldn’t comprehend why we should be destined to be doomed. I learnt during my journey that there is always Hope and possibility to alter the course of one’s life. Provided you have Health by your side.
SEHHAA is the outcome of all the research that I undertook in order to find a holistic solution to human suffering at a worldly level. Sehhaa is a Lebanese word which means ‘Health’. Sehhaa promises to uplift the health of every individual on all three levels – Mental, Emotional, and Physical.
It provides a range of services, which are- Energy Healing, Ayurveda & Astrological Guidance, Wellness Retreats, Diet & Nutrition, Sehhaa Schools, Lifestyle & Living, Apparel & Accessories.
Currently we launched ourselves with Wellness Retreats, where we provided a flavour of all the other services too. We are conducting webinars on complete Energy Healing.
I also provide individual complete Body Energy Balance to those who wish to achieve a state of coherence. We wish to deliver through ‘Pratyaksha Pramana’ instead of giving hollow promises.
Despite the challenges, what keeps you going when things get tough?
Without Inertia, what would the world be like? Reality is we enjoy speed because there is friction/Inertia.
Challenges play a major role in shaping up one’s life. There are just two options, either face the challenge head on or give up. Being recognized and leading a successful life is the natural By-product of facing challenges.
My vision, my goal, my dream is the fuel that keeps me going. My work is the purpose of my life, and hence challenges just act like speed breakers…slowing me a bit at times but never stopping me.
What are the three most important lessons you have learned in your life?
Three lessons that I learnt from my life, in order of precedence are:
1) There is nothing in this world that can replace Health/Self-care. Money, fame, love, food can all be enjoyed only if you are healthy. If you don’t make yourself worthy of enjoying life by investing in Self-care, it will not be far that life turns into a punishment.
2) Prioritize your choice of life. keep absolute clarity in mind towards what you wish to give utmost value to. If it is family, then don’t crib and feel guilty for sacrificing work. If work is the priority, then, when you are not able to manage and happen to neglect a few things on the family front, don’t kill yourself for it.
3) Give Advice only and only when solicited. People are going to learn through their own mistakes, just like you did.
In your opinion, what are the keys to success?
First and foremost:
Discipline – A set of replicable life attributes which can be repeated again and again on an auto mode. Duplication ensures Continuum. No amount of brilliance will guarantee continuity in life. Choices bring quality but in times of hardships, it is the strictly maintained disciplined routine life that makes you sail through.
Second is Consistency. Don’t give up in the face of hardships or failures. Keep repeating the efforts. If you don’t succeed, you will figure out what you should avoid in order to succeed.
Third is love and passion for one’s work. If your work does not give you reason enough to wake up the next morning, you need to rethink the choice of work/profession. One should never end up being a miserable soul.
What advice would you give students and young professionals who want to have a successful career?
Today, there are numerous career options for youngsters to pursue. youngsters should follow their heart and do what they are good at. There is some inherent skill in each one of us. Try to recognize that. It is a prerequisite to any successful career to realize what an individual loves doing.
After discovering one’s passion, set long-term and short-term goals. Visualize and write down what one wishes to achieve 10 years down the line (long-term goal), then 5 years down the line(short-term goal), and finally what one wishes to achieve by next year(immediate goal).
Once this draft is ready, focus on execution. An effective execution of a fantastic career plan is the recipe for success.
Last but not least, what about your journey makes it satisfying/exciting?
My life has been a roller-coaster ride. It is the perfect script for a top Netflix series (the lines are borrowed from someone). I embrace every scar and every wound of mine and wear them proudly.
I am whatever I am because of the predicaments in my life. They shaped me into the person who wishes to empower women and men alike with practical solutions, life lessons so that each one of them becomes a BLISSFUL soul.
